OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is involved in multiple pathways, including the regulation of Src family kinases. It plays an important role in T-cell activation through its association with the protein encoded by the protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene. This protein also phosphorylates C-terminal tyrosine residues on multiple substrates, including the protein encoded by the SRC proto-oncogene, non-receptor tyrosine kinase gene. Phosphorylation suppresses the kinase activity of the Src family tyrosine kinases. An intronic polymorphism (rs34933034) in this gene has been found to affect B-cell activation and is associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CSK can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CSK as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CSK could matter depends on whether native CSK is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CSK is annotated at the cell surface, where native CSK is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CSK as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
